Say what?

So I looked at my gas bill today, online. Dominion East Ohio's website had the following "advice" on its homepage:

"Energy Saving Tip #59
When you’ll be away from home for more than four hours, raise the thermostat 5-10 degrees or more."

Umm, say what? You're the GAS company. This is CLEVELAND. Where it is NOVEMBER, and temperatures are in the 30's. It's been SNOWING.

Profit, profit, uber alles.

I can has Roomba ride?

I can almost picture Moey doing what this cat does, but Mina would hide under the bed for days, I think!

Dare we hope for at least some of this?

Apparently, a group of pranksters put together a rather elaborate spoof of a special edition of the New York Times dated July 4th, 2009. They not only put it online, but also printed out over a million copies and handed them out.

See the spoof website. And yes, the links on it work. This thing is good!

And here is the actual New York Times coverage of the story.

Political humor goodness

OMG, another piece of priceless stuff here. Just read the entry. I cannot even begin to describe the awesomeness that is this post on John Scalzi's blog, so go and see for yourself. Make sure you don't have any beverages in your mouth while you read it, if you value your keyboard.

What's Really Going On With Joe Lieberman

The Bard's Hokey Pokey

(snurched from a friend in an online discussion forum I visit)

First, the original version:

The Hokey Pokey

Put your left foot in,
Your left foot out,
Your left foot in,
And shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
And turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about.

And now, Shakespearean Style:

The Hokey Pokey

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke.
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven’s yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt.
Verily, I say, ’tis what 'tis all about.

I have cool friends, don't I?

Aaaand the winner is.... OBAMA!!!!
